This week there are only two states with elections, we have ND and WI. ND is just one school district, while WI is the state-wide primary, including municipal races. Please remember primaries matter just as much as general elections, and that’s even more true for the municipal races because they’re non-partisan, so two Dems could get to the general or two Republicans, and you really don’t want the second outcome.

Tues Feb 18

There are also municipal primaries across the state. Unfortunately there is not a single source where you can find a list of which counties have them and which don’t, you must put your address to find the information for your ballot.
